PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Game Name Is Silly But F— It!

The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds game name is something that a lot of gamers are familiar with. It is a very popular game that reached over $100 million in revenue and 4 million players in just 13 weeks of its release which is still in early access.

Business Insider UK was able to get a hold of Brendan Greene, the game’s Creative Director and also known as PlayerUnknown. Business Insider UK mentioned that the game is bizarrely named to which Greene replied, “It’s only called ‘PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ because ‘Battlegrounds’ you can’t get a copyright on. You just can’t. So calling it ‘PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ [makes sense] because it was ‘PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale’ before that. And it’s all caps because it looks better as all caps. No other reason. I’m not shouting it.”

Greene added, “Yeah it’s a silly name, but f— it!…People are talking about it, that’s the main thing.”
The game name is quite a mouthful, and perhaps that is what adds to the game’s charm, aside from the amazing gameplay of course. Players of the game have coined it as PUBG (when typed) and pronounced as “pub-gee” or just “Battlegrounds”. Who would mistake “Battlegrounds” for anything else since it is such a popular game right now!
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available for PC and soon for Xbox One.
